![Downtown Gwangju, South Korea, is the place to be if you like loud music, cheap beer, karaoke and cosmetics.  Take a walk down the shopping street where each shop will try to out-do the other over how loud they can play some form of EDM or Kpop. You'll be dazzled by the bright lights and stores. But once you've reached the centre you can veer off and find one of the many bars to settle down in and spend the night drinking Maekju (beer) with friends. It's so lively you won't know where to look.
